This one just caught me out. I have a script that checks a property of it's owner and returns the value. Specifically it checks the owner for a property of the same name to see when the local value is empty to see if it is defined higher up in the object hierarchy. I thought this would be a safe way of implementing object oriented stuff.
But you get recursion when the control is a background, because the owner of a background is the card the background is on, but the card is actually below the background in the message hierarchy, so the background script gets triggered again when you look for it in the backgrounds owner. A recursive tongue twister maybe - but just remember a background's owner is itself in scripting terms! _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
